Tiger Pride Points (TPP)
We will begin placing TPP next to the days that you are eligible to receive Tiger Pride Points. This way, there's no confusion and our assistants will not be continuously answering the question, "do we get Tiger Pride Points today." Thank you for viewing the newsletter each week to see when points are awarded.
Grading Policy and Reporting Reminders! - PLEASE REVIEW!
- Do NOT put a 0 in on any assignment that was not completed due to student absence - for any reason - until the student has had sufficient time and opportunity to complete the assignment and failed to do so.

- Grades must be entered within 5 days of assignment due date.
- Late Work is accepted - 1 day late is up to 15 points off; 2 days late is up to 30 points off

Welcome to Travis Ms. Garcia!!!!
Please congratulate our amazing finalists for being nominated for this honor. Our 2019-2020 campus Teacher of the Year is Matthew Hindmarch!!!!
Congratulations to Ms. Albritton for Belles' Teacher of the Week!!!!
A Few Reminders...
There should be NO passes during Advisory! Be mindful of the 10/10 rule in ALL classes. Be aware of students that ask for passes out of class often - this should not be allowed. We have TOO MANY students in the halls - especially during the afternoon classes. We appreciate you keeping them fully engaged in the classroom!
Everyone must let their supervising administrator know when you leave campus for ANY reason during the day. You may do so via text, email, or phone - but you must let them know!
Thank YOU!
W.O.W. Wednesday November Winner!
Ms. Roberts works hard for her students and the staffulty! She is someone that others can depend on and makes working at Travis even more enjoyable!
Congratulations Ms. Roberts. We see you and we appreciate you!
Shoutout to Major Hunt for joining his students to run the flags!!!
